The Suburban Race.

NEW YORK, June l8.-The starters in
the Suburban handicap at Sheepshead
bay to-day we're Barnum, Hidalgo, Rata
plan, Rupert, Ben Ali, Wyckham, Rich
mond, Quito, Linden, Housatonic, Pom
tico, OriHamne, Tenbooker, Eurus,
Biscuit. Pashs, Orlando, Greenfield and
Bonnie Prince.
When time was called the betting ring
was 50 densely thronged that several
booths were knocked down. Up to the
last IN the plunge on Richmond
was absolutely terrific. The field looked
very pretty as they vent to the post, but
unfortunately the ace resulted in a grand
iasco. The horses got to the flag at the
second attempt, but a shout of dismay
ven up when 1t was seer that Ben Ali
aud Quito were left at the post.
Eurus was the first away, followed by
Orliamme, Richmond and Tenbooker, as
named. Eurus at once opened a gap OF
TWO lengths, and with Richmond second
and Grimaldi third, made the running.
The others strung out Nearing the half,
Grimaldi got his neck in front, and Rich
mOnd began to fall back. Eurus increased
his lead the further he went. and turning
into the stretch was five lengths in ad-
vance, with Grimaldi second. Orfamme
and Wyckham moved up, but they could
not reach Eurus, however. who won in
a canter by six lengths Orifiamme second,
4 neck in front of Wyckham, Grimaldi
fourth. Time. PIP.
Mutuals paid $3.50; straight $75 for a
place. A magnificent floral horseshoe was
presented to the winner. The value of
the race to the winner is estimated at
about $4,000. Considering the .heavi
ness OF the course the time was very good
for a mile and a quarter. The number of
people On the track is estimated at 25, 900.
At the yery lowest estimate half a million
dollars must have been bet on the track.
BOokmakers had extra help and they
could not take in money fast enough.
Richmond was a tremendous favorite.
His trainer said before the race that he
lid not see how he could lose. Quito,
however, had such q powerful following
hat he crowded him close in the market.
Grimaldi. who has a great reputation as a
good performer in the mud, was the pick
of the track talent. Rupert was well sup
ported and Haggins is said to have had
$50. 900 on Ben Ali. There was quite a
hubbub over the fact that Quito and Ben
All were lett at the post.
Haggins aud Congressman Scott were 50
indignant they said they would not start
any more horses at S~heepshead Bay, if
Caldwell, as a starter, was not removed.
Then there were wild charges that Cald-
well had been bribed by the bookmakers,
who stood to lose heavily on both horses,
to leave them; that the executive roln,
miUtee would hold a meeting and rule him
off for life, etc.
Caldwell protested that it was done in
tentionally and that leaving the horses was
an accident. Garrison and Mclaughlin,
Jockeys, said their horses would not move
off, and thus is probably the case, as Ben
Ali was left in the same manner early in
the week. The executive committee will
take no action.
